Over three decades of collaboration, our members have educated policymakers to prevent violence in all forms, including child abuse, intimate partner violence, and elder abuse. Our members represent nearly one million health professionals with deep expertise and experience.
We know that public health approaches to preventing and addressing violence and abuse work. Our coalition brings health expertise to partner with policymakers to create bipartisan progress.
